Thats all well and good. However, when you have only a single 'service
provider', and they are making the decisions for you.....

Well, do you know if every subscriber to our 'service provider' (mine,
not yours) receives a copy of a 'acceptable use policy' ? I should
think that if they are making decisions for their clients, the clients
should be aware of what acceptable use is (Not every person, but at
least the networking folk in the clients organization). Or, are they
free to make decisions FOR US, without CONSULTING us, to see whether
their decision(s) makes our work more difficult ?
